the review

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the communications director at Yr Plans Inc. which is a company that provides employer-assisted loan repayment in the Canadian workplace.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Lattice Studios?

Beginning with a landing page, we took on Lattice Studios to build an online presence for us.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

They created our website for us. Now, they’re going to be helping us in rebuilding our software platform which is currently in beta.

My main point of contact was Tojo (Lead Developer & Designer, Lattice Studios) but I also know that Ali (Lead Backend Developer, Lattice Studios) was involved in the project as well.

How did you come to work with Lattice Studios?

We were actually touring their office building and were introduced to them by the manager of the coworking space. They seemed to be able to offer everything we were looking for. They were also the exact demographic that our targeted users would be, so we thought their input would be valuable.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent around $25,000.

Feedback for their work has been thoroughly positive. They really heard our needs and concerns and worked effectively to address them. Since their completed website was so successful, we’ve decided to retain them for the backend development work on our software offering.

How did Lattice Studios perform from a project management standpoint?

At the very beginning of our engagement, Tojo and I set out our primary methods of communication. We exchanged phone numbers for emergencies, but most of our communication was via email. We could just drop in any time, as well. On top of that, they met all of their deadlines.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They were great listeners. They really listened to our needs and understood what our specific challenges were.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, I can’t really think of anything.

"They’re constantly grinding to make a better product."

Nov 22, 2018

The Review

Feedback summary:

Lattice Studios worked through a streamlined communication flow to provide constant updates and ensure they had all the material they needed to succeed. Continually innovating, they refuse to deliver a mediocre product or let their abilities stagnate. Their attention to detail was outstanding.

the review

I’m the founder of THAD, an architectural design firm that specializes in creating inspiring, functional dwellings.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Lattice Studios?

I’ve only been acquiring new clients through referrals for years, and I was suffering from a lackluster website. I wanted to extend my reach to new clients and make myself more visible on Google. I wasn't able to build the website I wanted with WordPress or Squarespace, so I decided to find a development team.

What were your goals for this project?

My main goal was to extend my reach to new clients through Google. My secondary goal was to have a sleek and modern website that would showcase my previous work.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

They worked in the same office space as me. I always saw them working hard and building amazing products, so I reached out to them when I decided to build a new website. I also considered two other companies and two freelancers. While the other companies gave me a simple quote, Lattice Studios built a design prototype. They put in a lot of work for no extra charge, and I decided to go with them.

Can you go into detail about the services they provided and the scope of the project?

Lattice Studios built my website, web dashboard, and backend infrastructure using React, Gatsby, and Firebase. The site itself showcases my houses, describes my process, and allows clients to contact me, while the dashboard and backed empower me to easily add and remove projects and photos. Each house has a featured image and multiple interior shots and is labeled by type. They optimized all my images based on their size. They also did SEO and set up my technology accounts.

What was the team composition?

The team included one frontend developer and one backend developer. The backend developer was in charge of the project and kept me in the loop whenever there was a big change or if they needed something.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?

I can't at the moment because I'm not ready to publish the site.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

They provided a project lead (the backend developer) who was in charge of communication. We shared a Trello board that kept me updated on the progress of the dashboard.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

They’re constantly grinding to make a better product. Not only are they good at what they do, but they also go out of their way to improve their work. Their attention to detail is impressive. They were always coming to me with ideas on how to improve my initial thoughts. It wasn't just another project to them. They went above and beyond to build a product that would help me succeed.

Are there any areas where they can improve?

I was generally happy with everything, so I can’t think of anything.
